Ozzy Man Offers HBO Suggestions For The Viper and The Mountain

— June 5, 2014 — Pop Culture
After a very upsetting and graphic end to the most recently aired episode of Game of Thrones entitled The Viper and The Mountain, one fan took it upon himself to suggest an alternative ending to HBO.

YouTube's Ozzy Man lists eight suggestions how the duel between The Viper and The Mountain could have ended in Oberyn vs The Mountain (Denial Version). Firstly, he asks the music of Hans Zimmer be used. General tightening of the scene would also be preferable, with strategic use of slow motion effects. Other tips include a romantic happy ending and having Ser Pounce land on King Tommen's lap.

With Tyrion's fate hinging on the result, the duel had everyone watching very tense.
